About the E-Textiles Network:

The E-Textiles Network is an EPSRC funded activity, which was founded in August 2018 to accelerate the development and adoption of e-textiles technology by facilitating focused research activities and disseminating results. The Network will bring members together to: identify application challenges in key application sectors; define research challenges; facilitate collaboration to enable industrial pull; identify and attract new research disciplines that can be applied to e-textiles; aid dissemination of research results and broadly promote technology. KTN’s Knowledge Transfer Manager for Advanced Materials, Brian McCarthy, is a member of the Network’s Steering Board, which oversees the Network’s activities and is well represented across academia, industry and end-users.
